Scaling Service Mesh Globally and Across Environments

A true service mesh should focus on how to manage and orchestrate connectivity globally. Connecting a new service mesh for each use case is a much simpler problem to solve, but doing so won’t help you scale.

Buying Low-Code Automation: What to Look for and What to Ask

A revolution is transforming organizations and it's driven by low-code. Using low-code, organizations can quickly build—even in only a few weeks—enterprise applications that would once have taken months to get off the ground. Forrester predicts that by the end of 2021, 75% of development shops will use low-code platforms (up from just 44% in 2020).[1] With that kind of momentum it’s no wonder the low-code market is exploding.

David Spirk, DoD’s Chief Data Officer, gave an historic keynote at GovCon Wire’s Data Innovation Forum, which was held in June 2021. He was joined by three key leaders in DoD data: Thomas Sasala (Navy), Eileen Vidrine (Air Force) and David Markowitz (Army).

Why love software testing? Hear from the experts

Whether or not you made the choice on purpose, you would have come across some side effects of being a tester which is: You act and think like one at all times! 😱 You try to break anything you try new, you are skeptical and perform some testing yourself to see if anything new works fine!
